Disclaimer: I don't own fairytales.
Faeryland can be a very dangerous place, particularly for girls in their young adult years. These guidelines will help make your stay in Faeryland a more desirable time, and perhaps even save your life.
#1. Never take things from strangers.
You've heard it a million times before, but it's true! Whether its apples, combs, corsets, or spinning lessons, they likely want to make you go to sleep and then marry some guy that's like a hundred years younger than you! Talk about wrong...
#2. If you have a step-sister that your mother completely hates and is ridiculously cruel to, run don't walk to the nearest exit!
She's likely far prettier and nicer than you, and will definitely be the one who gets the prince. You have a far better chance of good fortune if your a poor, lost girl out on the streets.
#3. When picking out shoes for the next ball, choose size accordingly:
If you want to snare a prince, get shoes almost exactly right, but just a size too big so that they're likely to fall off.
If you don't want a prince, make sure your shoes will stay on!
#4. Never allow yourself to be locked in a tower by some sweet old lady who makes cookies.
Your father probably took stole lettuce from her back before you were born, and she's just dying for revenge. She'll never let you out.
#5. Being 16 years old.
16 is the most dangerous age for a girl to be in Faeryland. Everyone is either going to want to kill you or marry you. If you want a normal life, you might as well just go lock yourself in a tower. (Just don't leave it to the sweet old lady who makes cookies but wants revenge from your father for stealing her lettuce.)

Well, what do you think? If people like it and I have enough ideas, I'll keep writing it. I could probably do at least another chapter or two.
